amancalledpony's blog post - For the Giants hater.

I feel like I should be like the women (I use that term loosely) on the Maury show. "you don't know me, you don't be judgin me".

Ok I realize your team just got swept in the World Series. I know I am have been supporting the Giants on NN. Just because I am a Giants fan does not mean I was born and raised out here as you suggest. In fact the Giants moved to SF after I was born. Which if you even looked at Wikipedia you could have figured out. For your information the first two MLB games I ever saw live were in Detroit.
I lived in Northern Ohio at the time and my dad listened to the Tigers games. So I was a Tigers fan long before I was a Twins fan, Cardinals fan, Athletics fan or Giants fan. As for those first in person games. My dad decided since I loved baseball, as he did, my 6th birthday present would be a trip to Detroit. As my birthday was on Monday in 1961, he got tickets for Sunday. It was a doubleheader. Back in the days before league expansions, jet travel and with much shorter seasons; teams played two games in a day very often. It was against the Minnesota Twin. The Tigers won both games. Now this was at old Tiger Stadium with the green seats and we were sitting in the second deck of right center. For the few baseball freaks on here, this was the Tigers of Kaline, Cash, Colavito and Lary pitching. In the first game I got to see Norm Cash hit a home run and Frank Lary go nine innings. In the second Rocky C put one out (I think he hit 45 HR's that year).
So to this person who wanted to trash me, don't be dissing what you don't know. If I hadn't move from NoOh, I would still likely be a Tigers fan. As Bill Cosby sang "you're a young boy, you got a lot to learn".
